No one can say with confidence what drove him to this series of crimes. On the basis of what has been disclosed, however, it does appear that the good-looking high school dropout might have graduated and lived a productive life had things been otherwise at a crucial stage in his development. 1 Parents cannot be held fully accountable for the behavior of their children, to be sure, especially after the childhood years. There must be a measure of individual responsibility in addition to parental responsibility. But tad Harry Lee Ranes not come from a broken home he might not be in his present deep trouble.

The youth left high school with a tenth grader and joined the Army. He was mustered out two years befoue his enlistment expired, not dishonorably but because of a Judgment that he was not fit for service. This hints at psychiatric problems which apparently later motivated his murderous career. Without indulging in amateur psychoanalysis, one ean reasonably suggest that young Ranes might have turned out differently had he received sufficient parental affection and understanding. It may well be that he drifted into crime because he lacked these saving graces, lacked adult guidance and inspiration at a time when he desperately needed them.

No parent can read the story of Larry Lee Ranes without pondering his own a first ballot nomination at ban Francisco. His first ballot delegate strength could go considerably higher than the 615 (40 short of nomination) now being esti mated by independent apprais ers. A good is tnat car ry's managers now are talk' ing, not rashly, in terms of 750 or more. The easy thing to say about the losing moderates is what has been said all along: They had no horse. But that is only a partial truth, and it is only part of a bigger, more complex, more uncomfortable story.

From coast to coast, many moderates have spoken privately of these things to any reporter who would listen. The fact is that a good number of well-placed Republican middle-roaders did have a horse middle-roaders did have a horse, Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania. They have thought for a long time that he and no one else fitted their needs in 1964. Those who wanted him excuse themselves by saying he would not run but would only allow himself to be drafted.

The conditions Scranton set-again and again were so rigid that some GOP professonals, viewing with detachment, found-it both dangerous and unrealistic for the moderates to rely upon this slender reed in the face of the hard-charging Gold-water forces. What these professionals are saying is that if they really wanted to prevail, these moderate forces should long ago have sought another candidate. Perhaps Richard Nixon was the only man who could have filled the bill. But, since, he was usually bracketed with Scranton as one of the two likeliest compromise choices, some think it would have made sense to settle on him quickly and get along. Here we come upon one of the large, uncomfortable truths, often quietly uttered by self-criti cal moderates.

As a force in 19-63-64, they have been virtually leaderless, deficient in initiative, forever scanning the newspapers to see if someone else has acted. The late comedian, Fred Allen, might well have had them in mind as well as corporate vice presidents when he once said: "Vice presidents are individuals who singly can do nothing, but who collectively can agree that nothing can be done." The problem admittedly is not wholly within their control. The moderates exhibit their best initiative when their ranks are laced with a good many strategically placed governors. In 19-52, most of the then 25 GOP governors gave Dwight Eisen hower their support. Now there are just 16, many from small or thinly populated states.

Two of the big state governors, Scranton and George Romney of Michigan, are freshmen who have been involved in state problems and at the same time speculated upon as possible presidential candidates. They have taken no big leads so far. Another, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, is an avowed candidate whom the moderates dropped like a hotcake when he remarried. Vet, even as they repeatedly pronounced him dead politically, -they stood around idly, letting him tear up the turf, hoping he would knock off Gold-water for them so they could party at the cafeteria Thursday evening for Mrs.

The reasoning is 'understandable, for each word carries an unfavorable A Mail -Order Gun Laws Studied Even Anti-Tank Weapons Sold NEW YORK (AP)-The assas sination of President John F. Kennedy with a mail-order sun focused attention on a serious and controversial law enforcement problem. Death dealing weapons, from hand pistols to bazookas and even anti-tank guns are available by mail or der or over the counter to al most anyone who can afford to pay for them citizens who need self-protection as well as criminals, lunatics and even children.

'CBS Reports" undertook Wednesday night to examine both sides of the subject. The program demonstrated how a man released from a Kansas prison walked into a "liquor and sporting goods" store in Arizona and bought a gun under an assumed name and later killed two Los Angeles police officers with the weapon. The sale was legal in Arizona, as it is in several other states. Americans love guns, perhaps because of our frontier traditions. There are even 200,000 members of "quick draw clubs" using real guns and wax bullets.

The position of representatives of the National Rifle Association, representing over 600,000 hunters and shooting enthusiasts, was explored. While deploring sales to convicted felons, persons with a history of mental disease or children, it maintains that citizens have a right to own firearms for self protection, including the prevention of tyranny. Police authorities pointed out the tremendous lack of uniformity in state and local gun laws, and James Bennett, director of federal prisons, said, "We're the only civilized country with no effective restrictions on gun sales The hour program was intelligent, well-organized and provocative.

The public school teacher tied for 27th place, ranking with captain in the regular army. There is a tragedy of twisted value standards in this. The truth is that, whether or not we pay them enough and regard them highly enough to give teachers high, in the community, they play as important a role as anyone in determining the kind of society we are to have; The better the quality of the men and women we can attract to teaching, the more fully our nation's promise will be realized, bau told newsmen on his ar- rival in Ankara Wednesday night he had brought no solution to the Cyprus dispute, which threatens to touch off a war between Greece and Turkey, both members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He said Johnson had sent him to learn the views of the Turkish government, accused by the Greek and Cypriot governments of prepairng to invade the Mediterranean island off Turkey's south coast. BRINGS WARNING Informed sources said earlier that Ball brought a warning to both Greece and Turkey that the United States is prepared to take sharp measures to prevent a war over Cyprus that would be disastrous for NATO.

The sources did not specify what measures the United States would take. Greek Premier George Papan-dreou said after his talk with Ball that he had warned of the consequences of any Turkish invasion. "Our target is a peaceful solution and we endeavor to maintain peace," Papandreou said he told Ball. American sources said the Greeks, alarmed at the prospect of war with the more powerfully armed Turks, had asked the United States to send over a high official. RUSSIAN ARMS Ball also carried word that the United States was concerned over reports that President Ma-karios of Cyprus might seek Soviet arms to fight any Turkish invasion.

Makarios fired off messages to all United Nations members Wednesday asking them to use their influence to stop what he said were continuing Turkish threats. The Greek Cypriot archbishop charged that Turkey had mobilized "great number sof naval, land and air forces ready for an invasion of Cyprus." A Foreign Office spokes man in Ankara denied that it plans military intervention in Cyprus. He said the Turks have taken only normal secur-, ity precautions.

The word Maccabees vas used by a group of Hasidic iJews who recently created their own "citizens' patrol force" to roam the Crown Heights area in radio--equipped cars from sundown to dawn each night. Each car is manned by six un-armed but strong young men. They try to put down disturbances by sheer force of tjumbersrlf they-jcan't, they summon police by radio. The aim is to counter a rash of muggings, knifings, rapes, and murder. But Negro residents of the nearby -Bedford-Stuyvesant section said the patrols would only increase racial strife.

The name Maccabees was chosen from Jewish his-Mory. In the second century B.C., the Maccabees a Jewish family, led a fight for religious freedom when the King of Syria attemped to force Hellenism upon Judea. The Jewish holiday Hanukkah, the Feast of Lights, is asssociated with the victory. From the beginning the identification with the Jewish faith was unfortunate. At least 20 non-Jews- 12 whites and eight Negroes- had volunteered to patrol on Readers 9 Forum All letters most carry complete name and address of the writer, although pen name or Initials may be used at the editor's discretion.

Editor, The News-Palladium: When Romney says the Re publicans in Michigan do not want Goldwater, I believe he is quite mistaken. All Republi cans I know favor Goldwater. It seems to me he must be a Democrat and not a Republi can. In the first place he tried to put over a state income tax and would have done so had it not been for the Republicans in the state legislature. When the labor unions were causing trouble recently, in stead of using the Militia to put the trouble makers in their plaees, he shuts "down the plant.
